CART Technical Proficiency and Equipment Management 2

Question 1

During a live CART session, a speaker repeatedly uses a new product name that keeps appearing as an untranslate. What is the best immediate action?

Accepted Answer

Define the term on the fly in the job dictionary using the CAT software's quick-define feature

Answer

Quick-defining during the session makes every later stroke translate correctly in realtime.

Question 2

Why do CART providers commonly keep a separate job dictionary for each client or course?

Accepted Answer

To keep client-specific terms from creating conflicts in the main dictionary

Answer

Job dictionaries keep specialized entries apart so they don't cause conflicts or mistranslations in other jobs.

Question 3

A remote CART provider sees the streaming text falling several seconds behind the speaker. Which factor is most likely to blame?

Accepted Answer

Unstable or low-bandwidth internet connection

Answer

Lag in remote streaming usually comes from network problems, not from the writer or the display settings.

Question 4

What is the main purpose of a stroke conflict in a steno dictionary being resolved?

Accepted Answer

To make sure one steno outline produces one predictable translation in realtime

Answer

Unresolved conflicts force a choice or produce wrong words, which hurts realtime accuracy.

Question 5

Before an in-person CART assignment, which equipment check is most important?

Accepted Answer

Confirm the writer, laptop, cables, and consumer display connect and translate correctly

Answer

Testing the full chain from writer to consumer display before the session prevents failures during it.
